PROGRAM
We recently released a detailed Agenda for the Open Horizons Summit
CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE AGENDA AND TO BOOK YOUR SESSIONS
The Open Horizons Summit offers two different programme paths to ensure attendees will benefit from an unique experience and cutting-edge education on the topics and technologies that matter most to you.
Technical Education Program
The technical program features 50+ technical Hot Lab sessions covering the ITOM, ADM, Security and IM&G portfolios. These unique hands-on deep-dive half-day workshops, which remain the core of the Open Horizons Summit, provide advanced technical training and deep dives, as well as feature integrated labs with the latest developments from Micro Focus being demonstrated to participants. This format enables attendees to build their personalised agenda mapped to individual specialisations and needs.
To gain access to the technical sessions, which are delivered as a joint effort by Micro Focus and community experts, conference participants need to register for a “full conference ticket”.
The Business Program
The Business Track provides a strategic overview of Micro Focus technology and a business update across the ITOM, ADM, Security and IM&G portfolios. Attendees will gain insights on how to grow business with Micro Focus software and get the chance to network with peers from around Europe, Middle East and Africa. Sessions are delivered by senior executives who will share the latest Micro Focus company vision and strategies. Meet product specialists and learn about market trends, offerings and roadmaps, cross sell opportunities and how to beat the competition and grow your deals and profits.
Attendees interested in the general keynote sessions and the business sessions without the need of attending technical hands-on sessions should register for the reduced “2-day business ticket”.
